Solar Water Pump

A solar water pump is a system for matching the equivalent power of pump by a solar array of modules using a modern variable frequency drives designed especially for that particular application. The solar water pumping system is capable of running all types of electrical water pumps with applications varying from irrigation to household demands. Irrigation pumps such as submersible, surface or deep well can also be coupled with drip irrigation systems to enhance the returns from this configuration.

A typical solar water pumping system is known by the sum total of solar array size that is required to run the attached pump. As an example, a 1000 Wp solar water pump is capable of drawing and pumping approximately 40,000 liters of water per day from a source that is up to 10 meters deep. This is sufficient to irrigate about 2 acres of land with regular crops. A 1000 Wp solar water pump helps save up to EGP 6,000 when compared to equivalent use of a diesel-operated pump over a year.

The idea of solar pumping system is that each solar array has a number of solar modules connected in parallel or series. Every solar PV module generates current by converting solar radiation to electrical energy.The electrical energy from the entire PV array is controlled, tuned and directed by the inbuilt controller in DC pumps or AC pumps through the Variable Frequency Driver(VFD) and enables the connected pump (may be submersible or surface) to draw water and feed the delivery pipelines.

The water thus drawn from ponds, rivers, bore wells or other sources by a solar water pump is pumped to supply water as required. It can be stored in tanks from where it is later channeled to fields or the supply from the pump may be coupled with drip irrigation systems to provide optimized water to fields directly.
